Tamsin L. Silver

Tamsin L. Silver is originally from Michigan, but has lived in New York City for the past twelve years, which technically makes her a New Yorker, or so she’s been told. Tamsin holds a BA in Theatre and Secondary Education, with a minor in Creative Writing and Shakespeare from Winthrop University in South Carolina. She has taught both middle and high school drama, but now uses her degree to write/direct a NYC-based web series called SKYE OF THE DAMNED. You can see more about it below (and see episodes) as well as at SkyeOfTheDamned.com.

Tamsin also has a new book coming out in the fall of 2015, called Mark of the Necromancer. It will be the first book in a brand new series called, The Sabrina Grayson Novels. You can find Tamsin rambling on Facebook, Twitter, and on her blog (see links below). You can also catch her giving writing advice (along with a bunch of amazing writers she looks up to immensely) on MagicalWords.net twice a month on every other Wednesday.

If you would like to meet her in person, she attends conventions with her books and web series during the year, where she speaks on panels about writing, directing, and producing. This year she will be at Con Carolinas (Charlotte, NC), Dragon Con (Atlanta, GA), and hopefully a few more. Stay tuned here to find out!
